CITIZENSHIP in SRSD A Celebration of Community Spirit! June 14, 2011

Citizenship in our student’s words… “ I help ___ because he needs help and he is different. I feel happy and proud to help ___.” Stephen “A good citizen will do the Golden Rule. It means treat others the way you want to be treated. “ Emily “I think it is very important to be the best you can be! It makes you a strong leader, a responsible citizen, and it makes you feel proud!” Megan

“ I feel that to whom much is given much is required… Christopher “I feel way better doing the right things and saying no to the bad things.” Bettina “Our common goal is to create a safe and comfortable environment where young people can unite, develop activities to contribute to their school and community…” CLC Student Council “Be the difference you would like to see in others.” Author Unknown

Last word…. "There’s a radical – and wonderful – new idea here… that all children could and should be inventors of their own theories, critics of other people’s ideas, analyzers of evidence, and makers of their own personal marks on the world. Its an idea with revolutionary implications. If we take it seriously.“ - Deborah Meier
